"Customers" should not get sources or patches out of jira. While apache doesn't
have customers as such (since we give everything away for free), what will
happen with harmony as the project matures is that we'll be pushing out source
releases and binary releases, both "snapshots" and "stable" releases, which is
the primary means for *users* to get hold of our "products". Harmony is
essentially sort-of in "stealth mode" right now, which is why those kinds of
things are not yet in place, and neither are facilities such as mailing list for
users or end-user-targetted documentation on how to install it. We don't actually
want that many "regular" users (eg the people just looking for a jdk to use),
since we wouldn't be able to support them, but that will change as this neat
little (heh. Not so little anymore already :-)) project matures.
Hope that clarifies a little!
cheers,
Leo
